Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 15-ounce cans low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles

In a soup pot, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the turkey and sauté 5 minutes or until no longer pink, crumbling the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, chili powder, cocoa powder and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.

I also added some crushed peppers and extra chili powder to make it spicier.
